Summary
Loretta Brooks was diagnosed with a Head and Neck Cancer known as Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma when she was 13 years old in 1991, causing her to miss almost all of her 8th grade school year. Loretta recovered well from that form of cancer and now has dedicated her life to advocacy work for Pediatric Cancer, with a particular emphasis on the subject of survivorship, which is always a difficult issue for former Pediatric cancer patients as they move into young adulthood and then adulthood.
